I'm just visiting New South Wales from my home state of Queensland (The Land of Queens). This is a royal trip and I am travelling with the most royal company of Delia and Lauren. Having been royal for so many births but having slipped a little towards the end of the play, we all practiced our royalness whilst in the car travelling south.
We stopped off at The Aravali Meditation Sanctuary, a most royal, off the grid bush retreat centre at Glen Elgin NSW, along the way. It was here that I met up with Trudy and her mother Tina. They were two very royal people from the local town of Glen Innes. Trudy had an exceptionally unusual hobby of making chain-mail which warriors and kings used to wear in battle in 'the olden days'. Naturally, being very royal myself, I couldn't resist trying it on and I must say it felt very good, natural and dare I say it, royal. I enclose a photo of myself in the aforementioned chain-mail. Judge for yourself the obvious royalty of the moment. The chain-mail vest weighed 12KG by the way and so you can imagine the effort required from me to appear so royal in the photo. Well done Trudy. Lovely meeting you and your mum. More about this wonderful royal outing to follow soon.
The Golden Age is a historical time on Earth when human beings were at their finest. At that time all were self-sovereigns, rulers of their minds and so the world was perfect.

What can Elvis, The King, teach us about royalty?
Why was Elvis proclaimed king and who did the proclaiming? Was he royal in his behaviour? Yes? Then what were those royal behaviours? What makes them royal? How did he learn that behaviour?
I have no idea what Elvis was like on or off stage, but one thing is for certain, he would have had many great attributes which attracted people to him and have them proclaim him king. Good for you Elvis. He would have also had a dark side. We all do (except God) at this time, but we can choose to focus on the good or the bad. Focusing on the good has lots of benefits.
Royalty as defined on this blog means stability. Fluctuation and royalty are mutually exclusive. You can't have an 'off day' if you are royal. One is either royal or not royal. The bar is very high. Why? Because royalty are the example, the guides to the kingdom. As royalty do so will those residing in the kingdom. Does Elvis score on this definition?
Royalty means sweetness. Royal people never think or speak thoughts or words that aren't sweet. Take a look at the following and check what you know about Elvis and see how he measured up. (I use the term measured, past tense, even though, as you know, Elvis lives, but not as Elvis)
"Be a royal and a great soul who garlands with garlands of praise even those who defame you. Garland those who defame you with garlands of praise and they will automatically return the garland of praise to you because to garland those who defame you with a garland of praise means to guarantee them becoming your subjects for birth after birth. This giving becomes a form of receiving many times over. This speciality will make you a specially beloved king and a great soul."
So to only 'see' (focus on) the greatness, the positive attributes, the virtues in others is extremely royal behaviour and something one can learn to do. It's not easy, but it is possible and something really worth learning, a skill worth acquiring.
A royal life is a life of service. Self-service and world service. I'll leave you with another quote to assist you in your quest for royalty.
"In order to claim your fortune of the kingdom of the whole world, simply become pure. Just as the Father is completely egoless and enters the impure world and an impure body, in the same way, you also have to become as egoless as the Father and do service."
We teach these skills at this school. For free. Inquire within.

Simplicity is Royalty
Paddington Railway Station - Wednesday 10.30
Still very much fixated on virtues, what they are, how they work, how to acquire them. I'm set on my goal of being part of the creation of a viceless kingdom. I only have myself to study internally and so I am the guinea-pig for my research at the moment. I observe my behaviour, my responses to events, my thoughts my feelings and I see a change.Perhaps I'm fooling myself in regards to the change I see in my vision and my attitude. I still get amazed how change takes place, realisation emerge as one proceeds. But one thing I am certain of and that how I feel day today.
This path promised me stability, constancy in how I think and feel and I have that. It promised me strength of mind in a world of constant change and I have that. It's not a life free from challenges but the challenges are well met and eventually overcome.
Simplicity is such a wonderful thing.
Glen James talks about virtues and the monarchy
Glen James on virtues. Seems these virtues are really worth acquiring. What do you think?
I bumped into Antonio at Scout and asked her about virtues.
There I was sitting alone outside Scout in Petrie Plaza and suddenly Glen James was there with his daughter Antonio (call me Toni) whom I hadn't met before. So I couldn't resist asking her opinion on virtues and that.
Thinking pure and positive thoughts about the self is the one thing that can't be taken from you.
No one can stop you thinking but can you stop thinking negatively about yourself and/or others? If not, it's time to begin mind management.
It's your mind, they're your thoughts so you should be able to control them. Thoughts lead to feelings. Feelings are very convincing. They're real but that don't indicate what's true.
You have to learn to control your mind. Really. You have to. If not, you will suffer, you'll be a slave, trapped in a cage of your own making. No one to blame. All happiness and sorrow is taking place within your mind. You have to learn to manage it. It's essential. We'll all benefit if we all do it. Peace is only a second away. When I start thinking peacefully, I feel peaceful. Others will feel it to. Your atmosphere of peace will spread. Become responsible for self peace and world peace. Your input is valuable. The world needs your pure, peaceful and powerful thoughts.
We need power as well as peace. We can't manage our minds and our senses if we are weak. To become strong I have to become the detached observer of my thoughts and feelings and make them powerful. This is my responsibility.
Find people like yourself, who have the desire for peace and are motivated to do something. Be a guide for them, an inspiration. This is your duty. Do it now/ It takes only a second to begin. Join the revolution.

Why spinning the cycle of self-realisation is the most powerful form of revolution.
Without a clear destination it is more difficult to make progress. When we focus only on the problems of the self and the world without a clear image of what we want the future to look like we are likely to freeze at the immense task ahead of us.
Swadashanchakradari is a Hindi word that translates to 'spinning the cycle of self realisation' and means that one should keep the image of one's perfect self firmly planted in one's mind. Not an easy thing when everyone else around you is thinking differently and focusing on what is wrong.
But what does it mean to be self-realised? From a spiritual perspective it means to know the truth about the self. What is that truth? Is there such a thing as a perfect self?
Seems we can make a important decision here. We can decide yes or no. Yes, there is a perfect me or no, such a thing as perfection can't possibly exist. Why not choose 'yes' as a start? It seems the better option.
Okay, so if we are adopting the view that there is a perfect 'me', what does that look like? Well, we all know I think. It means we are generous, happy, content, benevolent, helpful, honest, wise, compassionate, thoughtful, etc etc. Okay, recognise the items in the list? Virtues and powers again!
It's always going to be virtues and powers. These are the currency of happy, harmonious and peaceful living and I believe they are our inherent nature. A world full of virtuous people would be heaven, paradise, the garden of Allah. That's all it takes, but I have to develop the faith that that is what I am at my core. And I have to focus my attention on those aspects of me and bring them to the fore. No need to focus on the negative. Be aware that it is there but don't focus on it.
So, swadashanchakradari means to focus on the true identity of the self and doing this will bring about the greatest revolution ever. It will be world transforming. Literally.
Now, how to do that? We have to learn to manage our minds. We say 'my mind' and 'my thoughts' but if they are mine why can't I have whatever thought that I want, when I want, for as long as I want? Try it and see. Try holding a thought and see how long before your mind 'wanders' off to something else. Not long right? Okay, so we have to change that first of all and then we can focus on our positive nature when we want, for as long as we want.
Meditation, based on the truth about the self, is the key to doing this. Meditation is focused concentration and unless you learn to do this you will remain a slave to your thoughts and feelings and the revolution will not take place.

The Royal Road Less Travelled
The royal road has been defined as a 'way or method that presents no difficulties'.
I came across the term whilst surfing up at Scout. I couldn't connect to their WiFi and had to tether to my phone. I thought to myself, "the royal road, no difficulties!! No difficulties once you have become royal! There are so many great sayings out there. The challenge is becoming the embodiment of them and remaining that.
Being royal means having the power to discern. It's easier to discern when I can see clearly, when I'm not confused, when my path is clear, when I know where I'm going. Like in the picture of the Royal Road in Persia below. It looks so easy to traverse. Free from obstacles.
I've come to learn the benefits in obstacles whilst on the road to becoming royal. Obstacles are indicating something. Obstacles to happiness. Something that is between me and happiness. Happiness is what humans strive for most of all. Happiness, joy, contentment even bliss. A life that is constantly this way is possible but it requires effort at this time. Distracting oneself is often easier but the fruit is only temporary.
The Royal Road was an ancient highway reorganized and rebuilt by the Persian king Darius the Great of the Achaemenid Empire in the 5th century BC. This straight and narrow road is symbolic to me of the focused attention needed to move through life.
The straight and narrow, but I'd always be wanting to scale the banks and see what's on the other side. Also, seems easy to become ambushed in such a place. Jammed in between walls. But I'm not so sure they fought that way back then. Honour was name of the game. Face to face on a battlefield, not sneaking up when you're not looking.
But that was then and this is now. Today we are often ambushed by the illusion of matter and who we are. So sticking to a straight and narrow path seems boring perhaps? But no, straight and narrow, a clear straight path frees up a lot of creative energy. And life cannot be boring when one is creative.
So I'm staying on the Royal Road Less Travelled. It's served me well. I'm achieving what I want to achieve and my days are filled with happiness and contentment.

The Invisible Lord of Lords is arriving on Platform 10
So we set up the room in the normal way after quite a busy day. A lot of the spiritual family had visited during the day already, some bringing food to share, so we weren't sure how many would come, so just in case we put out 20 seats. The Lord of Lords, King of Kings enters this corporeal dimension to transform the world and we put out 20 chairs!
There were some 'first timers' present too, they had been part of the 'day visitors' and had become intrigued when they had overheard the conversations about tonight. So they were invited to come along and they came.
The arrival of an invisible character (actually two invisible characters, but more of that another time) whose form is an infinitesimal point and whose nature doesn't change or fluctuate at all, not one teensy weensy bit and yet who manages to be the catalyst to transform the nature of every individual on Earth, and matter too, would have to be 'up there' in terms of being significant, don't you think?
I managed to get the large, very comfortable lounge all to myself for the event and so I stretched out and slung a leg over one of the sumptuous arms and settled in.
It's all very different these days. Watching live, at home on a big screen via the internet, for a start. Lots of noise and waving and smart phones from those present in the huge hall in India and unpredictable behaviour from the Beautiful Traveller but everyone seems to have a great time and just the significance of the event. The significance!!
I've seen this happen many times since 1985 when I first began this particular spiritual journey, but it's still a wonder. I watched in awe for 2 or so hours and then when it was all over, went to bed. It was 3am!

The Invisible Teacher says having good wishes for others is royalty.
I love this concept of royalty. Not the superficial, on the surface, hereditary royalty that is based on privilege and ego but the type of royalty which is based on;
- goodness
- righteousness
- morality
- uprightness
- integrity
- dignity
- rectitude
- honesty
- honour
- incorruptibility
- probity
- propriety
- decency,
- respectability
- nobility
- worthiness
- good
- trustworthiness
- purity
- incorruptible
- merit
- principles
- ethics
The Teacher
There is someone who has all these virtues and more. There's a Teacher I know, very well, a close friend of mind who has every virtue possible, no matter what. Someone who is unchangeable, no matter what. The only thing is, this Teacher is...invisible and one has to sort of make the self invisible to be able to study with The Teacher. But more of that later.Monday, 12 January 2015
Bhutan - The happiest place on earth?
What is Gross National Happiness? (GDH)
The term "gross national happiness" was coined in 1972 by Bhutan's fourth Dragon King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who opened Bhutan to the age of modernization soon after the demise of his father, Jigme Dorji Wangchuk. He used this phrase to signal his commitment to building an economy that would serve Bhutan's unique culture based on Buddhist spiritual values.
A royal mind is a well managed mind.
It's impossible to consistently think and act royally if one cannot manage one's own mind. If circumstances effect how we think and feel then it is difficult to maintain one's royal personality. One cannot manage one's mind if one doesn't understand how it functions. So secondly I need knowledge of how my mind works, but initially I have to know 'who am I'.
A ruler cannot be influenced by circumstances. A ruler will take circumstances into consideration when making decisions which are based on royal standards. Decisions are taken carefully and with everyone's best interest in mind. Decisions wouldn't be influenced of emotions.
To train the mind and intellect, both faculties of the self, requires effort over a long period of time but the results are worth it.
I sit still and relax my body....I allow the sights and sounds of the outside world to fade into the distance.....I focus on my thoughts and begin an internal dialogue....I ask the question....who am I....really....who is it that is producing these thoughts and feelings.....where do they come from....how can I manage them so as to produce only positive feelings and thoughts....
I entertain the thought that I am pure consciousness....and my form is an infinitesimal point of light...and my original nature is peace....and purity....and royalty.....and because I have forgotten who I am....the truth about myself....it has left me experiencing sorrow....feeling uncertain about myself....
Contemplating myself as a pure, perfect being reassures me...makes me feel good about myself....when I can manage my thoughts in this way...I can create the beautiful mind of my choosing

The personality of royalty..
All have the opportunity to become royal. Royalty is reflected in ones personality and the actions one performs. The original personality of the self is the personality of God. God is complete with all virtues and powers and if I get close to God I automatically become like Him. God is incorporeal so to know Him I have to become incorporeal, bodiless. I do this through meditation when I still my mind and become silent. God's language is silence and when I am silent God and I can become companions. Then His royal personality becomes mine and I can the share that gift from God with others. Human beings are weak at this time. Keeping the company of human beings results in me becoming weak. God is the original Husband and I am God's bride. This means I can wear the ornaments of divine virtues and receive God's treasures of unlimited happiness.
Royalty means awareness of the power of thought.
A royal person is very aware of the effects of their thoughts over their words and deeds. They pay full attention, without tension, to checking the quality of their thoughts and their attitude because they know that thoughts have vibrations which travel faster than the speed of light and have an effect on everything around them. Royalty are always aware of their power and use it for the benefit of all. Behaving royally means being careful and mindful of others. They remain light and give light. Royals are lighthouses whose light dispels the darkness of ignorance and illusion (Maya). They are beacons that guide others to safety.
'King' George Harris speaks on virtues now and in the future.
'King' George Harris, well known for his witty, outspoken comments, discusses virtues and the future new world.
I was amazed to discover that the system of marriage was created at this time.
All of you who have the true Suhaag (husband) are remembered
and worshipped as the most elevated souls in the world.
Today, everyone in the world becomes happy when they see
your non-living images of the constant and true Parvatis of
the Lord of Immortality; the ones whose Lord is God Himself.
You true companion souls always keep your tilak of this
awareness and always wear your bangle of your commitment to
following the code of conduct. You souls are constantly
decorated with divine virtues. You souls who have your
Companion are always completely full of all the treasures
and are instruments for the pure and auspicious task of
world transformation. The systems and customs of this
elevated and imperishable unlimited companionship of the
confluence age have continued even in the form of those
limited systems of marriage. Ask yourself: Do I experience
myself to have my Companion, which means, do I experience
being completely full and constantly happy? Do you
constantly experience yourself to be in the combined form of
the soul and the Supreme Soul? Are you single or do you have
a partner? If you consider yourself to be single, you will
experience your life to be that of separation. If you
consider yourself to be constantly one with your Companion,
that is, constantly combined, you will then constantly
experience yourself to be in a gathering celebrating a
meeting.

Thoughts on being a Queen by King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan
"Now, many will have their own idea of what a Queen should be like –
that she should be uniquely beautiful, intelligent and graceful. I think
with experience and time, one can grow into a dynamic person in any
walk of life with the right effort. For the Queen, what is most
important is that at all times, as an individual she must be a good
human being, and as Queen, she must be unwavering in her commitment to
serve the People and Country. As my queen, I have found such a person
and her name is Jetsun Pema. While she is young, she is warm and kind in
heart and character. These qualities together with the wisdom that will
come with age and experience will make her a great servant to the
nation."

How I unzipped the fabric of time and dived through.
It was an usual time. I had organised a retreat in Australia where we did some experimental meditation exercises. Following this, for the next two weeks, I seemed to be able to do amazing things with my mind.
Whilst seated in meditation, I was, simultaneously, able to experience myself on the other side of the room, as if real. So in the spirit of adventure, I created the thought to unzip the fabric of time and see what was there. I pulled down the zip and poked my head through. I observed a world of beauty and splendour far below. There were people, there was nature. Looking to the left and to the right I could see the 'back of the fabric' and was intrigued. I thought, "Why not?" and dived through the opening and flew over this wonderous world as if descending slowly in free fall. I looked around me. Up, down, to the left and to the right. The experience was 'as if real'. (Reminder. All the time I was sat on the other side of the room, meditating. The room was the same as usual). I was free to explore, which I did. It was amazing and delightful. This was 'another kind of real' and opened up my mind to new things. This is hard to describe. Words aren't enough but I thought I'd try.
I was able to do this and other similar things, like project myself into a picture on the wall, for a period of two weeks or so. Then it stopped. I'll do it again one day, when I'm ready. I know the method. It's teachable. It's one of our faculties, rarely used.

I couldn't believe it when I first heard that everything is predestined.
When told that time repeats identically some people ask, "what's the point"? One can gather from their response that they have been experiencing difficult times. If their lives had been joyous up to that point they would rejoice at the news that they would be experiencing that joy over and over again. At least I would.
Why are we here?
To experience joyous relationships with each other and all the inhabitants of the planet. Life is simple when we can manage our minds successfully.
Our original nature is peace. By taking rebirth we eventually forget that. When we forget our true identity we get ourselves trapped and experience the bondage of matter and relationships instead of freedom. When I have knowledge, truth about myself I can rid myself of the chains that bind me and fly once again.
To reverse the situation we need to make conscious effort to remember who we are. This takes practice but it's well worth it. It means I can regain my purity, my royalty, my self-mastery right here and now and ensure my life is how I want it to be. We are actors in a drama. This is significant.
Image watching a movie and getting 'stuck' in the plot and not able to escape. Well, this is similar to what has happened to us human beings. We need to become detached observers of this drama then we can regain our royalty and self-sovereignty.
Part of the process of becoming a pure king or queens is to create subjects.
What is a king or queen without subjects? In The Land of Truth the population serve each other through their vibrations. Vibrations of what? The vibrations, the subtle energy, of the intention behind thought words and actions. Nothing can be hidden on the subtle level. The personality of purity and the intention of harmony of all in the The Land of Truth, work with each other to create an atmosphere that has been remembered in myth, as paradise, heaven and the Garden of Eden. Myths don't appear out of thin air. There is always an event or set of circumstances behind the stories that are handed down from generation to generation.
The kings and queens of Satyug (the age of truth), created an account of imperishable wealth by following the highest directions. They (the kings and queens in their former lives) served the community of earth (including the flora and fauna) at a significant time, a time when hopelessness abounded. Their reward for that, given automatically according to the law, is the highest seat within the Golden Age of mankind.

They (the kings and queens in their former lives) served the community of earth (including the flora and fauna) at a significant time, a time when hopelessness abounded. Their reward for that, given automatically according to the law, is the highest seat within the Golden Age of mankind.
It seems that virtues are an essential part of life in The Land of Truth
Deep within all souls, relatively speaking, is the subconscious memory of their pure and perfect original state of being. Thinking about that, meditating and pondering those ideas (of perfection and purity) allows the memories in the form of thoughts and feelings, to arise in the soul and give comfort and hope. Janine speaks about virtues, and becoming royal

Walk with me, under a night sky.
In the world of pure and perfect kings and queens, the land of truth, nights are spent strolling under a black velvet canopy, eyes and minds fixed on the wonder of it all. Enchanting, absorbing and sublime. Fireflies, in clusters of a million, settle on forest trees and ignite profiles as if by Christmas light. Such is the place, such is the night. Warm, fragrant breezes, delightful night nature sounds. Wonderful company both animal, human and insect. Such nights we spent, together, in joy and awe. Safe in a world of pure virtue.
Greater than life itself is the silence of the mind.
There's an art to becoming a pure king or a queen. That art is developed through silence. Somewhere, in the depths of your mind, subtle memories swim purposefully between the ordinary, mundane thoughts. If you become quiet they become apparent and you can savour them, connect with them and enter into them, becoming as one. These invaluable thoughts are of another world than this one but they are no less real and should be treasured. Those wonderful, beautiful, delicate thoughts very rarely see the light of day and that's a loss for us all. So often, if I become aware of such finely-created masterpieces such as these, I might try to grasp it within the present but so often it slips away and I'm left a little saddened. The world needs your inner beauty.
But nice to know they are there, that they do exist and with the right approach I can learn to dwell in that inside world whenever I desire. And I should desire it. It's a beautiful place and it's mine.
Subtle thoughts are royal, overflowing with gentility and valuable beyond compare. Try to find your purest thoughts, and love them and value them. They will guide you to perfection.
I never dreamed it was possible for the world to be free from war until I read this!
When the Earth was 'new' and there was so few of us here, comparatively speaking, we never made 'mistakes'. Mistakes means that every decision we made, resulted in actions that didn't return any sorrow. Established and sustained by the virtues and powers of every individual within the society and guided by the innate purity of the individuals there, life was peaceful, joyous and harmonious for all.
Take a moment to ponder what such a world would be like. Still your mind, search for the spaces between your thoughts and feelings and locate your subconscious memories of such a time. Were you there? Do you resonate with the idea of purity, a life without duality. Do you want to go there. It all depends on your mastery over your mind.
With pure intellects, with clarity and naturalness of judgement and decision making, even on a subconscious level, how could such a world fail. In that place, at that time, matter was dependent on us, not us on it. Such was our power.
Gliselle on virtues

When the switch of awareness is on you cannot have an off mood
Awareness of what? It's the self of course. But who am I and more importantly, what am I.
At the moment sat in Scout on Petrie Plaza. Have notebook from this morning's spiritual class. Always a good way to start the day. Quiet here at the moment, which is quite unusual. Sarah and Freda on duty, with Rotaz out the back. Great place to sit and think..and write.
So, no off moods allowed when awareness is there. Makes sense. Self is light, just light. Why should I worry. Death doesn't exist. It's a lie. It's a world of falsehood and the biggest falsehood is the identity of the self. And the qualities of the self.
Such a freedom. Free from death. The shadow that hangs over life is an illusion.
Progress on becoming royal. Learning to speak more softly. It's not just speaking softly it's understanding why one should want to do that. Once upon time humans didn't speak so much. Like cows standing silently in a field. Together, but not having to talk too much about it. The vibe does it. Is it just me or does everyone pick up on it? The silent, sweet conversation between living beings.

Perishable Wealth vs Imperishable Wealth
I love the idea of imperishable wealth especially as I feel closer to really understanding what the term means. Money wealth has never loomed too large in my life but it has kept me fed and put a roof over my head which I appreciate. But money comes and goes. It can be a blessing as well as a curse. I know many unhappy wealthy people.
My understanding of imperishable wealth is those things that money can't by and you can keep ones whole life through if it is appreciated and taken care of. Given high priority.
I'm thinking of friends, happiness, love of course but more than this, at the root of all these things is truth. Truth is invaluable and imperishable. There's only a few truths we need to know. There are only a few anyway.
First and most important truth is who am I, really. If you know the answer to that, and I do, and if you live that truth, then happiness, peace, love, contentment, etc all follow.They are the children of truth.
Another truth is the answer to the question 'where are I from'. I know this answer to and it makes life very easy. It also helps me do nice things and be kind to the world and its inhabitants.
The truth shall set you free.

No Thing Is Real. Everything Is Reel.
Scientists
have known for well over a century that matter is composed of energy
and that what appears solid is largely empty space. And yet we all still behave as if what is around us is solid.
Scientists don't
understand time either. They know what time it is but not what time is.
They haven't discovered yet, that time is cyclic and repeats
identically. But it's only a matter of....time, before they do.
We
don't have to wait for them to discover this before we can begin
experiment with the idea and observe the significance of it on our day
to day life, especially in regards our study to become royal.As time is cyclic and repeats identically it follows that everything is predestined. If everything is predestined we can 'sit back' and enjoy the play.
But this only follows if I know a bit more about who 'I' am.
Turns out, I am a soul. A soul is energy, cannot be created or destroyed so is therefore eternal. Nice!
So, as I am eternal, as everyone is eternal, then there's nothing to worry about.
Dressing Royally
It's
very important to dress correctly as a royal person. Shorts and tee
shirt are probably not the order of the day for royals. We want casual
but also very beautiful, practical and stunning. This is my choice of
clothes
depending on whether I am in a male or female body at the time of
course. You might like to check the internet to see how you would dress
in The Age of Truth (Satyuga). This is not to impress others or
even to make oneself feel good but simply for the joy of displaying such
beautiful items of craftsmanship. In the Land of Truth all have
complete
self-respect so external things do not impact on the person. However, a
clear indication of ones role can be very helpful.

An Introduction to The School of Kings and Queens
Hello
I've
always loved the idea of democracy where people are free to choose
those to guide their community. However, after a lifetime of living in
democratic countries and observing democratic nations around the world, I
don't think it works so well after all. Democracy Is The Rule Of The People Over The People
Some people aren't suited to leading and guiding a community even though
they think that they are. It's easy to spot these folks. They tell
lies, are unscrupulous, exercise favoritism, speak loudly or in harsh
tones, get angry or affected by circumstances, make poor decisions and
are often unpopular. They end up leading communities or countries for
various reasons. The bottom line is because the people of the community
haven't exercised their power of judgement accurately, they haven't
thought much about it or they are just compliant.
